Steel Cut Oats Quinoa Recipe

Make the creamiest coconut steel cut oats with quinoa, coconut milk, and maple syrup topped with fresh mango and more coconut for a healthy high-protein vegan breakfast option. 

The tropical flavors in this creamy breakfast bowl were inspired by the first trip Matt and I took together, to Costa Rica. We had the sweetest ripe mango and creamiest, freshest-tasting coconut. They're truly a match made in heaven.

But the good news is that you don't have to travel to a tropical location (as much as we'd all love to) to enjoy this delicious combination. This vegan oatmeal bowl unites creamy, dreamy coconut and mango in a warming and comforting breakfast for any weeknight morning.

Steel Cut Oats + Quinoa Granola Bars (gluten Free, Vegan Option)

While I usually use rolled oats for my oatmeal bowls, steel cut oats are a nice treat. They're made with a slightly different processing method and therefore have more of the bran attached. For this reason, the steel cut oats take a bit longer to cook. But the wait is worth it!

Steel cut oats soak up the cooking liquid, in this case coconut milk, better than rolled oats. And this way, they turn even creamier and more satisfying.

If you have celiac disease or avoid eating gluten,   I have some good news: Bob’s Red Mill makes a CERTIFIED gluten-free version of steel cut oats! These oats are guaranteed to be free of cross-contamination with gluten-containing ingredients.

Store them in an airtight container for up to five days. You can enjoy them cold with your mango and coconut on top. Or, if you prefer warm oats, reheat them on the stove or in the microwave. If they're thicker than you'd like, add more coconut milk until they reach the creamy texture you're looking for.

This coconut steel cut oats with quinoa, mango and coconut flakes is creamy, dreamy and delicious. It's healthy, gluten-free + vegan too!
